Here's an update on the A.  The '40 will be done for Devil's Run next year.  At least I'll drive it there on it's own power; it might not actually be done though.  Anyways, here are some pics!

Update! I picked up a set of F-1 front brakes this weekend, and got an F-1 steering column, as well as 2 16x4.5" rims and a 16x5".  hopefully my front end will get set up in the next couple of weeks. After midterms I'll be busy in the shop again.

I got a 10 gallon moon tank for it, and fixed that goofy hole above the rear window.  Next shop weekend I have I'll be able to start setting the frame up a little better. There's a reason RacerJ's around!

I got the doors chopped and straightened out; now I have to make them work!  RacerJ and I both got decklid skins, which will most likely be louvered...  I'll put pics up when real progress takes place!

I know I didn't wake up early enough to swing by there before work on Monday or Tuesday but I figured  you'd have some update for the site?

As it happens, mr. antibling, we've been busy as santas elves this fine friday evening/saturday morning. Pinstriper's coupe went from hulk of sheetmetal to official mockup. After seeing the car in real life as opposed to dreaming about it for the last 3 years, he liked it higher in the air (less dumpy). Our present contemplations include whether to hack off the frame horns or pie cut the front of the frame more than present for axle/frame clearance. The rear will take care of itself later.

I caught Pinstriper in the middle of a secret suspension setup. He seems confused. Please help him.
